Windows 7: User keyboard shortcuts in registry?

I can't find this information.. Where are the keyboard shortcuts we created in the registry? I use them to launch many apps. I just updated one and the keyboard shortcut associated to it is gone, yet i can't set it to the same.. Like Windows remember it but is hiding it..!

Generally one can't create a key shortcut that conflicts with a System shortcut, usually need a 3-key combination such as Ctrl+Shift+ the + or - key for turning an Adobe Reader document sideways. And many programs over-ride the System keys when they are running such as the Fx keys.

Well Berton is spot on there I was thinking if you could find the system ones that you may find the ones you created but as Berton has said - likely to create conflicts in a manner of speaking as any system stuff is done by MS and I personally could not do it myself as I am not into programming those sorts of entries just modifying them.
